Toronto Tenants Union

May 9th Organizer Orientation

#housing #tenantsrights #tenantsunion

https://www.tenantunion.ca/orientation

It was decided that only collective action could resolve these issues and a group chat of tenants and CATU members was created to progress this.

CATU Waterford plans to conduct further organising efforts with the tenants to build a bigger and stronger group capable on taking on the landlords.

If you are a resident and interested in getting involved, please reach out to us!

Yesterday evening, our members spoke with residents at Mount Suir Apartments about our upcoming residents meeting today, Thursday 29th at 6pm in Carrickphierish Library - if you are a resident, come along!

There was a lot of interest and our members again saw first-hand some of the horrible conditions these residents are forced to live in.

Truly absurd! Never forget: All landlords are evil.

"Landlords are using a service that logs into a potential renter’s employer systems and scrapes their paystubs and other information en masse, potentially in violation of U.S. hacking laws, according to screenshots of the tool shared with 404 Media.
The screenshots highlight the intrusive methods some landlords use when screening potential tenants, taking information they may not need, or legally be entitled to, to assess a renter."

State Sen. Paul Bettencourt led the effort to crack down on squatting with Senate Bills 38 and 1333, which are awaiting Gov. Greg Abbott's signature. The House revised both to strike a balance between the rights of property owners and tenants.

Hey #Tacoma!
Take a few minutes to personalize & send this letter to City leaders. Let them know you support #TenantsRights & more #AffordableHousing #SocialHousing

Council is getting lots of pressure from corporate #landlords to roll back protections just when fed & state housing supports are evaporating.

If a #Homelessness tsunami DOESN'T sound good to you, let your reps know!

State Sen. Paul Bettencourt emphasizes that Senate Bill 38, passed by the upper chamber on Thursday, is necessary to make it easier for courts to remove squatters. But Democrats and tenants’ advocates say it would undermine due process.

When @ProPublica journalist Alec MacGillis first met lawyer Andrew Rabinowitz, the latter was representing a property management company owned by the Kushner family. McGillis was writing an article about the company’s aggressive approach to tenants. Eight years later, Rabinowitz is defending beleaguered tenants against their landlords. What happened?

A Houston lawmaker's bill to make it easier for property owners and landlords to evict squatters could advance to the floor of the Texas Senate within the week.

Important piece from the leaders of #Tacoma4All on the #AffordableHousing shortage & twisted response of #Landlord lobbying groups to recently enacted #TenantsRights legislation in #Tacoma

📢 Skyrocketing Evictions are a very real problem, but no, #NewsTribune, they aren't caused by protecting single moms from winter eviction 🙄🤨

I wrote this article about a rent strike that started in two Kansas City apartment complexes, and organizers are working to spread this campaign to buildings across multiple US states.

The purpose is not just to fix things at the building level; this ambitious campaign is strategically targeting buildings strikes in a way that aims to force the the hand of a federal regulator, the FHFA, to lock in tenant protections.
